Nepenthe Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Oh wow I didn't notice the dragon outline right above the outstretched hand, there. Clever, hiding it in the descending Fade. I'm glad too, they look to be dropping the blood theme. I think the dragon'll be more obvious when this is squeezed down into a blu-ray disc box size. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Bos_hybrid Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Is it meant to look like all those demons are racing to high five the Inquisitor? Well the twist is that the inquisitor is a demon.
Malekith Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 I think it's a girl. Romance option? No, that's the demons. All of them together...
Meshugger Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Is it meant to look like all those demons are racing to high five the Inquisitor? Well the twist is that the inquisitor is a demon. No, the twist is that the demon finds out that 'she' is actually a 'he'.

TheChris92 Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Definitely look like they took a page out of Dark Souls book with the boxart.
Keyrock Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) "Gameplay" Trailer: I put "gameplay" in quotes since there's maybe 15 total seconds of gameplay in that 2 minute long trailer. They made Laliana extra sexy in this one. Maybe to make up for ugly-fying Morrigan?

IndiraLightfoot Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 It sure looks promising, but maybe I'm daft, but I just found a post by Allan Schumacher who seems to be saying I can't buy this game on Steam (and definitely not any dlcs): " I keep seeing this excuse, but then we have games like Everquest 2 being sold on Steam. The ONLY way to get DLC is through Sony's store and you can't purchase anything but the game on Steam, yet it's still there. Fallout 3 the ONLY way to get the DLC without the GOTY version is by using GFWL. There are many, many examples that say you're making up this excuse. Because they're old games grandfathered in. Much like Dragon Age Origins (which is still for sale on Steam too). Then the question would become "why don't you want to sell your dlc on Steam?". Why are you restricting your sales to an obviously inferior system when Steam is right there?

TheChris92 Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) Steam isn't that great anyway to be honest. Most of the games they release are untested, possibly non-functioning copies, filled with DRM. If anything, they should release it on Gog.com even if it could hardly be judged a Good Old Game, but neither can Witcher 2 I'd say. EDIT: Apologies for that being off-topic there As for the actual trailer. I am mortified over BioWare's insistence of having to bring back certain characters again and again instead of exploring new territory, otherwise it looks rather nice and quite Dark Soulish in its gameplay but that's fine. If anything it can be a plus to take some inspiration from other games, just make sure it doesn't cover the entire apple tree. Edited April 22, 2014 by TheChris92

IndiraLightfoot Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 I agree. I'm no Steam/Valve fanboy. Just like you, I really loathe this locking of game to certain platforms. However, EA(Origin is going too far. I mean, UPlay (which I didn't want either), but I got it, since I wanted to play M&M X so badly, and they at least allow me to buy dlcs etc on Steam. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***

TheChris92 Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 I like how game trailers nowadays are basically cinematic trailers, that are about as accurately representative of the game's content as someone performing LOTR with finger puppets at a Game of Thrones screening. When Varric spewed his one-liners I could have mistaken it for a Hollywood production. The little amount of gameplay was disappointing. Sure, it looks very nice but so do a lot games before we actually see how it plays. There's promise to say the least.

TheChris92 Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Yeah! Where's my licensed music, EA? Where's my Marilyn Manson or 30 Seconds to Mars or Lin-KIN Park, screaming their ears out, huh?!
Gromnir Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 our favorite game trailer told us pretty much nothing 'bout the game. hell, even the music were complete different from what were eventually in the game. "that were kewl," is what we thought when we viewed it from our totsc install disk. da:i is a nice enough trailer, just not kewl. HA! Good Fun!

Orogun01 Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 who are these people Jesus and his Apostles at the Last Supper? If previous titles are anything to go with it will more likely be the Last Days of Caligula. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
